A carousel or rotating ceremonial display, especially in Italian or Mediterranean contexts.
From Italian carosella, diminutive of carosso (carousel), ultimately from French carrousel. The term referred to elaborate equestrian pageants in Renaissance Italy.
The carousel wasn't just a fun ride—Italian nobility invented 'carosella' as an art form where skilled horsemen performed intricate patterns, and the spinning ride preserves that spectacle.
